Been a couple of days with no response from the seller.  I asked this thread be made public before I refunded, so it was crystal clear what happened beforehand.  I will be refunding these funds shortly if there are no objections.

Scammer was red-tagged months ago. There is no indication of him/her ever conducting any legitimate deal. No excuse for the OP to deal with this shithead, escrow or no escrow.

You are right, newbie mistake. I rushed into this. I never did proper DD on him. Only after i placed an order i noticed he is not trustworthy.
Also some answers to my questions also raised suspicion but again only after i sent escrow funds.

Completely fair for OgNasty to return the funds at this point.

OP - with a copy of your passport and utility bills, the scammer has all the information required to open accounts in your name. I'm not sure what country you live in, but you should look in to placing a "Credit Freeze" or similar on yourself (https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faqs (https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faqs)), as well as being extra vigilant with all your existing accounts.
